Syftet är att undersöka medarbetarnas möjlighet till att arbeta utvecklande samt hur de får tillgång till och arbetar med icke-finansiell information på Nordea. Tillgången till fri information, som används och bearbetas på olika sätt, är idag en viktig förutsättning för medarbetarna inom Nordea. Icke-finansiell information blir allt mer viktigt, trots att Nordeas kortsiktiga framgång bygger på finansiella resultat. Tillgången till information skapar möjligheter för medarbetarna att vara med och påverka och fatta egna beslut. Det är inte längre ledningen som bestämmer vilken information som ska användas, ansvaret har förskjutits till medarbetarna.

The new information society has revolutionised almost the entire world. But the new technique does not only bring good. That which was before only available on paper may today only be available on a computer system. This makes it possible to send data electronically. In the wrong hands that information can become a threat against the security of an individual, a company or even a nation.

The health care sector is one of the most information-intensive institutions in Sweden. Big investments in information technology have been made to ensure efficiency and quality within organisations in health care. This has led to high requirements in documentation and resulted in an increase in administration which gradually more often is done by nurses and doctors. A major problem is that it is difficult to gain access to the information recorded in all the different systems, which is their objective. This causes double documentation instead of being a support in follow-up performance.

Vi har på uppdrag från Vägverket undersökt hur väl implementeringen av det nya intranätet, Infarten, har genomförts och mottagits av berörd personal på lokalkontoret i Karlstad.Infartens övergripande mål är att vara en del av chefernas och medarbetarnas dagliga arbete samt fungera som ett verktyg för att söka information. Intranätet ska sprida aktuella nyheter, som alla inom organisationen ska kunna ta del av. Anledningen till att Vägverket valde att vidareutveckla Infarten, från regionala intranät till ett intranät för samtliga regioner, var att de upplevde svårigheter och problem med en icke fungerande uppföljning och dubbellagring av information.För att ta reda på hur väl Infarten fungerar i det dagliga arbetet i verksamheten genomförde vi en kvalitativ undersökning bland medarbetarna på lokalkontoret i Karlstad. I de intervjuer vi gjorde, studerade vi medarbetarnas användning av Infarten i sina dagliga arbeten och även deras egna uppfattningar om Infartens uppbyggnad.Resultatet visade att medarbetarna hade användning av Infarten, de uppgav att de inte skulle vilja vara utan Infarten. Vi såg ett mönster som visade att respondenterna endast använde sig av vissa delar av Infarten, de delar de behövde för att klara av sina arbetsuppgifter.

The Center for Genomics and Bioinformatics (CGB) is an academic department at Karolinska Institute. Generally stated, the CGB department is committed to the generation and management of genetic information by approaches aiming at elucidating the connection between genes, protein and function.WiGID is a genome information database that is available through WAP (Wireless Application Protocol).Our version of WiGID is based on WML, PHP and PostgreSQL as a database server.One of the changes on the old WiGID application was the creation of a relational database with seven tables and one view, instead of the file that represented the database on the old version. We also changed the script language from python to PHP.The search engine ability has been extended with three new search alternatives for a user to choose from. Each choice leads to other, sometimes multiple choices.A GUI has been created for the administrator, to be able to insert information into the database.The structure of the search engine is primarily for narrowing down the search result on the phone display, thereby making the search efficient..

Changes are occurring in most organizations today and due to the fact that changes often are harder to implement than they seem, it often takes much longer time to implement them than the management have planned. During an organizational change theorist claim that communication between managers and employees is one of the most important things to consider. Therefore, in this essay, our aim is to closer investigate which needs of information and communication co-workers have during a planned organizational change. To collect data, we interviewed five co-workers and one manager who works in an organization which has gone through a major change. Our theoretical framework comprises former research of organizational communication, employee?s needs of communication, change communication and theories of uncertainty during organizational change.

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka den finansiella informationens eventuella inverkan på onormal avkastning i samband med publika bud. I en eventstudie analyseras därför företagsförvärv genomförda på Stockholmsbörsen under tidsperioden 1990-01-01 till och med 2009-12-31. Den moderna portföljteorin, effektiva marknadshypotesen samt marknadsmodellen utgör den teoretiska grunden för den kvantitativa undersökningen. För att utvärdera huruvida förvärven varit värdeskapande beräknas onormal avkastning, kumulativ genomsnittlig onormal avkastning(CAAR) samt volymviktad kumulativ onormal (VW CAAR) för bud- samt målbolag. Vidare presenteras tidigare forskning samt teorier kring företagsförvärv, vilka utgjort underlaget till hypoteserna i studien.Förvärven har delats in i två huvudgrupper baserat på om finansiell prognostiserande information har delgetts marknaden i samband med förvärv eller inte.

The aim of this paper is to examine the actualities of Information Practicefor single women whose parentage has been made possible through assistedreproduction, which places these parents in a norm-breaking position.Study issues related to parents? perceptions of information needs areinvestigated, as is the process of information retrieval and library usageas well as the obstacles and opportunities facing parents in search ofinformation related to their own family constellation. To this end, theoriesby Tom Wilson, Reijo Savolainen and Elfreda A. Chatman have been usedas a model of selection. Empirical data have been gathered from interviewswith eight single women, whose parentage has been made possible throughartificial insemination or IVF with sperm from an open or anonymousdonor.

The securities market was to undergo a major change with the entry of MiFID I in November 2007. EU´s establishment if the directive sets high standards for investment firms to establish internal guidelines in accordance with MiFID I. As right now, the securities market is facing further change with the proposal for MiFID II.MiFID II seeks to overcome MiFID I´s shown deficiencies. The greatest need for change are the rules that secure investor protection, with specific focus on regulation on information service from investment firms to customers. This essay deals with the rules on information service enacted in MiFID I compared to the changes presented in MiFID II to investigate whether the changes could strengthen investor protection as desired.MiFID II is a more detailed framework than its precursor.

Resource-based learning or problem-oriented learning are teaching methods that are becoming more and more common in schools today. In order to make these teaching methods work there is a demand to make students information literate. This entails that school librarians ought to play a more important role in teaching than before since they are the ones that are the most qualified when it comes to mediating information skills. The aim of this thesis is to find out how nine teachers at six senior high schools apprehend the professional role of the school librarian and how they apprehend the conception of information literacy In order to learn about these conceptions we have chosen to study to what extent collaboration exists in the schools in question and the teachers conceptions of the importance of the school librarian in this context. We have used phenomenography which is both a set of theoretical assumptions and a methodology.

The aim of this thesis is to discuss selected parts of cataloguing both from a practical and a theoretical viewpoint. It presents the basic grounds for cataloguing of printed as well as non-printed materials. The focus lies on the main entry heading and its author/title problem concerning film. The thesis theoretical part consists of an analysis of central documents dealing with the author concept from both a library- and information science perspective and a film science perspective. The practical part consists of interviews from two Swedish public libraries, which have different approaches on presenting films.

Bakgrund: Vid magnetkameraundersökningar föreligger en viss olycksrisk p.g.a. starka magnetfält i undersökningsrummet. Därför är det viktigt att berörda sjuksköterskor känner till riskerna för att kunna öka patientsäkerheten. Syfte: Att undersöka hur välinformerade sjuksköterskorna upplevde sig vara gällande magnetkameraundersökningar, samt om det fanns kunskapsskillnader mellan sjuksköterskorna på de olika vårdavdelningarna och mellan olika åldersgrupper. Studien är kvantitativ och har en deskriptiv och en jämförande design.Metod: Ett frågeformulär delades ut till sjuksköterskor på vårdavdelningar på Akademiska Sjukhuset i Uppsala, bestående av 10 frågor som rörde information under utbildning och yrkesverksam tid samt kunskapsnivåer om magnetkameraundersökningar.Resultat: Fem av sex tillfrågade vårdavdelningar deltog i studien.

BarnOPAC is a Swedish library interface for children. It was launched in public libraries in Sweden in 2001 and has now become a part of library software equipment in several public libraries. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate the interface BarnOPAC on the basis of the childrens perspective. The questions raised consider: how children experience and handle this interface, how library staff experience it and what viewpoints librarians have on childrens use of it. For this purpose we implemented a user study including eight children using the interface in a school library.

The aim of this study was to examine how children in ages 3 to 4 use the public library with the research questions: What does children?s, in ages between 3 and 4, information behavior look like when they visit a public library in leisure time with a parent? What is the nature of interaction between child and parent, child and the staff of the library, and between child and other visitors? What is the function of the cultural tools in relation to the children?s information behavior? The theoretical frame of reference consisted of Lev Vygotsky?s ?the zone of proximal development? and Roger Säljö?s theory about using cultural tools. To answer the questions I have observed 4 children together with their mothers and siblings at a public library. From the result of the observations I found that every child had their own information behavior. Two of the children only used one kind of cultural tool ? books.
